Cheery Festival

In July ,I will travel to Klona.There is a Cheery festival in klona every year.this is a fabulous and exotic festival ,because you can enjoy of nature.Also,you can pick up as much as you want.The weather should be great at that time a year.Actually,this year Calgary has confusing weather.sometimes is so cold for jun.I think with Calgary's weather we have problems all the time.For example,in winter we should be patient with-50 and in summer we should be patient with lots of rain and after that lots of mosquitoes,so with traveling in summer ,we can escape of this crazy weather. As I heard the cheery festival will be on July4-5-6.I am not sure ,so i check the it and i put the schedule in my blog.

Global connection,it's a great topic to study.It is a very wide subject,and it's interesting that it can contain many different issues.One of the most interesting parts that i like to know about is how can global trade make a big gap between social classes, poor and rich?In my opinion it is a serious problem which the world is dealing with. I hope after finishing the global connection chapter, I find a part of answer to my question.Also, I enjoyed the listening topic which we listened in class about different culture and customs.The part about serving guests in different country was so exotic for me.I am really interested to know about some other rules in other countries.We can share our common rules in countries on this blog.good luck.

KEBAB

Hi.I like to explain about on of the most famous Iranian food,which name is kebab.this food has very simple ingredients,but it is so Delius. you need to mix ground beef and onion and add some salt and black pepper then you mix them and make them like long rolls and put them on your B.B.Q . there are many kinds of Kebab in Iran.Most of the weekends people make it.we have special B.B.Q.Generally people eat Kebab with Iranian rice.they Mix rice with butter and Saffron.most of the time,when I invite my friends from different countries for eating kebab most of them prefer a kind of them which we call it KEBAB BARG or SOLTANI. In Calgary you can eat Delius Kebab in two restaurants.ATLAS in Calgary downtown an KHNEH KEBAB in Edmonton trail.When you go there just say them Tabassom send me.(no just kidding).Enjoy it.

Ruls about who is welcome in your home

There are many rules about having guest around the world and they are different from one culture to another culture,even they are different from one person to another person.
I have some rules about having guests in my home.Also I obey all the rules in someone's home.In my opinion,the most public place in home is living room .I prefer to serve my guests in my living room where consider as a best place for being whit guests. But the most private place in my home is bedroom which consider as a personal zone. In addition, if someone invite me to her home,I don't like going around whit out her permission.

In my back home Iran,there are lots of rules about having a guest,such as make an appointment before going to somebody's house or never going around their home without their permission.In Iran people never go to someone 's home for lunch or dinner without a clear invitation.

There are some differentiate between Iran and Canad,also in some condition they are similar. For example,about having invitation for going someone's home and being on time about their invitation they do same.But Canadian are very relax to go around in someones home without permissions which is very unacceptable in Iran.

Indeed,There are many rules about having guest which are completely depend on the culture and customs.

Mening of the colors

Colors can mean many things.By looking them different feels and ideas come to our minds.Painters divide colors to two separate groups.First warm colors,second cold colors.They believe that red is the warmest and blue is the coldest color.In my idea,red is a color of passion and love.Yellow means kindness and brightness.Blue means calm and relax.Black reminds me sad situation and white is the color of peace.Green is a symbol of nature and rebirth.According to a research ,Canadians have individual meaning for colors.Red is the color of love and passion for them ,besides it can mean rage,blood and violence.It is also the color associated with the devil.For them ,yellow is the color of the sun,sunflowers,bright and light, also caution,warning trouble.they believe that a person,who likes yellow color is very cheerful and pleasant.Blue is the color of the sky,ocean,sleep.Also, it's symbol of youth.Almost everyone likes some shade of the blue color.Black means sad situation for some Canadians but for most teenagers it's a color of fashion.Green reminds money,nature,peace and rebirth.In brief,colors can mean many thing,but most of the meaning is same all around the world.

class survey

I gave my master degree in psychology, when I was in my back-home(IRAN).After tarveling to canada, I decided to continue my major in PHD.First.I decide to improve my English in academic way.For being a psychologistI should speak English fluentlynue and I should learn about Canadian culture.I try to learn all of these things inside and outside of class.Now I can't sign up for other corses,becuse first, I have to finish EAP program.For me the most difficult thing about lerning English is writing and I need to practice as much asI can to improve it.I don't feel any difficult thing about going to classes.For me the easiest thing about learning Englishis reading.Howevre I think the most importanat thing i need to improve is writing.I hope at the end of this semester I will improve in all skills.
